X-Men Origins: Wolverine - DVD [Standard]

I wait like 2 years to can buy this steelbook just for $9.99. I just need the second wolverine movie steelbook to complet my collection.

Like the rest of the X-Men films, X-Men Origins: Wolverine contains so much action and plenty of violence. Though this film was supposed to reveal about Wolverine's beginnings, it does feel like the fourth X-Men film as said by Hugh Jackman himself. Nevertheless, the film does manage to be unpredictable.

This review is for the actual product, not the movie itself. You wouldn't know it by the outside packaging, but this item includes an updated iTunes Digital Copy, meaning the code "may not be valid" after June 24, 2015. I've used quotes there because I have successfully redeemed Digital Copies for other movies in the past after the alleged expiration date. I had a little trouble transferring the Digital Copy at first. Instead of getting to the redeem page through the disc, first open up iTunes, go to the iTunes Store and click on the 'Redeem' link in the sidebar. Then insert your disc. It should re-direct you to the correct Digital Copy redeem page. If you go the other route (clicking on the iTunes icon from within the disc pop-up window), you may be prompted to update iTunes even if you already have the latest version. When you cancel out of that prompt, the disc (for me anyway) stops spinning and iTunes shuts down. So you can try it this way if you want, but just know that there is another way to get it working if this way doesn't work for you. One thing I didn't like is that sometimes Digital Copies get you the HD version in iTunes. Most of the time, however, you get the SD version. This copy gets you the SD version.

I first saw this movie on Blu Ray and was sold on how great it looked and sounded. The acting was top-notch and the action was great as well. The fact that Hugh Jackman did most of his own stunts and actually outpaced the professional stunt men was very impressive. I think tha making Victor Jimmy's brother was a very nice touch even though the comics may not be like that exactly. Overall it was a nice take on the ORIGINS comic that revealed Wolverine's origin. The overall message of the movie was love, betrayal, and redemption. There were a lot of cameo's in the movie and I personally think they were very nice nods to the comics. The only reason I bought this Blu Ray was because it was on sale at the right price. Otherwise, I believe anything over $10 for a Blu Ray is unreasonable-especially since they can easily fit 1080p resolution (but NOT trueHD) on a dual layer DVD. But they again I am not a business man... just a consumer.

If you like the movie, then you should get it. I have seen it a few times already. The picture quality is excellent on my 120 inch projector screen. I got it for a good price, so definitely worth it.
